Any simple whiteboard iphone apps?

[DocZaius]

I am looking for an app on which to do "back of the envelope" type equation scribbles. I would be writing on a blank background with my finger. It would essentially just be a whiteboard on an iPhone. Nothing fancy - no need for sharing etc... In fact it might be better without fancy features (more likely to be free, no annoying icons filling the screen)

I would love it if someone who actually uses such an app could recommend one. The things I'm finding from searching on Google don't look quite right. There's no way to scroll down for instance. You're only given one page to draw on.

Thanks!

There's no way to scroll down for instance. You're only given one page to draw on.

That does seem to be a common limitation. I did some google searches but I'm sure you have seen the same results.

This seemed like the best

Sounds like a good candidate for writing a new app!

There are several simple whiteboard apps available for iPhone that may meet your needs. Some popular options include Simple Whiteboard, Whiteboard Lite, and SketchBook Express. These apps allow you to write and draw on a blank background using your finger or stylus, and do not have any extra features or icons that may be distracting.

One thing to keep in mind is that most free versions of these apps may have limited features or may include ads. If you are looking for a more robust whiteboard app, you may need to consider purchasing a paid version or a subscription.

It's also worth noting that scrolling may not be a feature in some whiteboard apps, as they are designed to mimic a traditional whiteboard where you would simply move to a new section of the board if needed. However, some apps do have the ability to add multiple pages or boards for larger equations or diagrams.

Overall, I would recommend trying out a few different whiteboard apps to see which one best suits your needs and preferences. Reading reviews and asking for recommendations from others who have used these apps may also be helpful. Good luck with your search!
